haps that was the fault of the
Democrats. The Democrats are DESTROYS
of doing something for the territory, but
they are hampered by the internal fight
ing among the Republican ex-office
holders. You must bear in mind that
the men who are so aggressive and have
done all the fighting and created all the
disturbance have been the diyisioniStS.
The solid. silent maSSeS-men who are
never heard from except at the polls
have been asking for admission. They
have no interest whatever in the multi
plicatiOn of offices. They are after good
government, and as little of it as we can
possibly get along with. 1t is because
they want this that they are opposed to
tho increase of the expenses of the ter
ritOry. OF course the Republicans who
have been running things in the terri
tory for years are expecting to have an
other chance after the next presidential
election. They are ever ready to grasp
at StrawS, and in the meantime they are
hanging on to a f0rlOrn hope, out at
elbows, with nothing to do but to sit on
the dogs to keep up the division fight.
Probably after the next election, when
they see once more that the country at
large wants Democratic adminiStra-
ton, they will fold up their tents, take
their carpet bags and gently steal away.
Then the people of the territory will
have rest from this eternal division
controversy, and then admission will
follow as a matter of course. The OBJ
structionists will have been removed
and all will be serene. But until that
day we must reasonably look for
just the kind of trouble that we have
had i'll the past. / do not look for di-
vision or admission this year, and want
to have it put on record that the fault
will be that of the chronic office-holding
Republicans who never know when
they are beaten.

FAULT OF oFFICE-HoLDERs.
Chronic Republican Kickers
Keeping Dakota Out of the

Chronic RepuDlIcan hIckefS
Keeping Dakota Out of the
Union.
Special to the Globe.
MANDAN, OAK, Dec. 16.-There is a
very general opinion in some parts of
Dakota that nothing will be done this
year by congress to admit or divide the
territory. Of course a difference of
opinion exists; some people think that
this or that will be done, but at the same
time there is very fair chance that
nothing will be done at all. Some terri
torial papers and politicians are striving
to make capital for the Republican side
of the house by the statement that it is
Democratic influence that is keeping the
territory out of the fold of states. A
prominent public man in conversation
with GLOBE correspondent at the cap
ital to-day said:
1T is the divisionists of the territory,
who want so much more chance to get
whack at Office, that are doing about all
that is being done to deprive the people
of Dakota of her political rights. These
people, coupled with the hide-bound
Republicans who represent such states
as Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Massachusetts,. are doing the work.
1t is the fashion, of course, for certain
class to try to lay it all to the Demo
Gratis. but the charge is stamped with
insincerity from its very inception. How
much recognition did Dakota ever get
under the Republican rule that the ma
ton has been ''blessed' with during the
two decades that preceded the
election of Cleveland 3 Per.
